Ochsner, Delgado join to train nurses, health workers
A Louisiana health system and a community college in New Orleans are joining forces to expand training for nurses and allied health professionals.
Ochsner Health is putting up $10 million for a new building to consolidate Delgado Community College’s Allied Health Division and its Charity School of Nursing, the health system and college said in a news release.
